'Bout 50 years too late but wow. Like the move and the message.

Now if the Olympic committee could do something about athletes having to swim in ####, TIA!

Nobody bothered to check the East German "womens" Olympic team back in the day.

whoa. pretty huge- and I've completely missed this.

sucks for the "honest" athletes who were clean... or at least haven't tested positive.

While I sympathize with the (few) athletes who do get caught up although they are innocent, perhaps those athletes should focus their anger on the cause of this disaster, the state funded and managed system of cheating. Sorta like how I don't feel sorry for those baseball players who didn't do Roids but are looked at circumspect as they didn't do anything to address / stop the issue either.
